Agree, except I'm expecting, for the reasons you say, there'll be more goals! It could well be the 4-3 that Acun talked about not long after he bought us, but hopefully with us getting the late winner.
In true Peaky Blinders style they just need to come out and say "No ****ing flags". Some numb nuts won't get the subtle hinting.
There will always be a handful of Leeds fans who are ignorant to the fact, it does however only take one Hull City fan to gesture in a slashing motion and be caught on camera to tarnish everyone waving a Turkish flag. It just takes going a goal down or a bad ref decision for the blood to boil over in that split second. Anyway, I hope it doesn't, it would be a shame for the waving of a flag to dominate the headlines instead of an entertaining game. Finally from me on the subject, I popped on this board after we went down and it was DMD who highlighted this "possible" problem, until then I didn't know you had got rid of the Allams, I honestly don't follow what goes on behind the scenes at other clubs. Glad you have decent owners now, we've suffered enough in the past with owners not fit for purpose.
Agreed, and to be clear I would absolutely not support anyone doing that regardless of score or atmosphere. It would be as insensitive as it would be pathetic Hope you enjoy the evening, but go home gutted about losing to our late winner…
So, I’m sitting in the hotel restaurant in Rhodes, overlooking the sea, having just paid for my stream for tonight’s game and ‘Eye of the Tiger’ comes through the music system speakers. It must be an omen!
Certainly looking forward to the game, 1.30 am wake up for me, so hope we can see a game and result worthy of getting up in the middle of the night to watch.
If I can drag myself out of bed might try to get up at 4 and get a run in before the game. It's been stinking hot here so haven't been out at all this week, but if not will just be up at 4.45 for it!
Leeds fans are amusing. They try to claim every club sees them as rivals, but they don't reciprocate as they see those clubs as 'tinpot', yet they claim their real rivalries are with Man Utd and Chelsea. They're on par with Liverpool for being the perennial self appointed victims, abused by the 'authorities' that they claim need them. As a club, they're kind of 'meh' but some of their fans really do drag them down to tinpot status with the mahoosive chips they have on their shoulders and delusions of grandeur.
Only my second game of the season as I have to work every Saturday, and what a second game it should be. Cannot wait (hope I’m not depressed for two days afterwards) UTMT
Couldn’t we have had this game last night. Got to go sit at a ****ing maths parents session at school for 2 hours.
Anyway, I don't normally do predictions, but as a one off, Leeds will huff and puff without delivering much but go in one up at half time, only to get hit by two from us on the break in the last 15 leaving the Leeds fans to complain about refs and off-sides and how being noisy should give them 3 points. EDIT: I forgot as a bonus for the bet, Ayling is always one tackle away from a booking.
